Health Topics

Health topics are listed from the most commonly-searched to the least.

Not surprisingly, some questions are perennially at the top of the list among internet users looking online for health information: What do I have? How do I treat it? Who can help me figure this out? Where should I go to get a procedure done? The Pew Internet Project and California HealthCare Foundation added some new topics to the list this year such as food safety, drug safety, and how to manage chronic pain.  What follows are all the health topics included in the survey, from the most commonly-searched to the least.
